bobbob1313 Posted October 11, 2006 Share Posted October 11, 2006 (edited) High School Confidential by Jeremy Iversen. It's really good so far, although I don't really understand what he is going for. I can't tell if it is a serious look at the high school culture at the turn of the century, or if it is an overdramatized soap opera. It tends to be both at the same time, probably because they aren't mutually exclusive. And having just graduated from High school ( a year after his The characters are all very realistic though, and don't tend to fall into the same old "high school archetypes" that we are used to. Instead of the "jock", and the "nerd", etc., you have series of realistic groups that the students gravitate towards (which, coincidenally, almost exactly shadow the afformentioned archetypes.)
